i love that fact that i can vent about a product on this website. it's therapeutic for me, really. i waited a few weeks to review this mascara, to make sure i really disliked it - and i do! let me elaborate: the mascara is fine as soon as you apply it (thickens, plumps) and i actually thought the wand was great (nice and fat). the problem arises about an hour later when YOU CANT EVEN TELL YOU APPLIED ANY MASCARA. it's like my lashes look comlpetely bare and undefined. i hate that! i spend precious morning time curling, applying, combing, reapplying - all to have my efforts thwarted by this product. i was bellyaching about my neutrogena full volume a few weeksa ago, but now it appears to be the lesser of the evils (at least it lasts the day!). i'm SO returning this stuff.
